When I load a WinRT WP8 projet using AdControls into Visual Studio 2015 CTP 6 (fully updated), Intellisense tells me that he can't find the namespace Microsoft.Advertising.Mobile.UI.
Actually, the SDK still referenced from VS 2013 in the project, but the reference is not found. And I can't find any links to download it through the web.
Does anyone know a way to install it?
I'm sure that you're aware of where, Microsoft.Advertising.Mobile.UI would work only with Windows Phone 8.1 RT/Silverlight as well as WP8/7 Silverlight apps.
Reference: API Reference - Windows Phone Advertising SDK
If you're in the correct path then try downloading the Microsoft Advertising SDK from msdn.

Unknown type 'AppBarButton' in XML namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'
I cannot reproduce the error with Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017 by UWP app. I guess you are using Visual Studio 2012 and developing Windows 8 app.
If in that case, you may need to use Visual Studio 2013 or higher and developing a windows 8.1 app or higher. It seems like AppBarButton is not supported in windows phone 8. More details please reference this thread.
By the way, you may need to detail your question about what you want to ask. Details please see how to ask.
I am using Visual Studio Community 2015 to create Universal Windows App.
I am facing following problems-
1. No designer view.
2. No controls in toolbox.
3. Property window don't show any properties of control.
4. No phone emulators are shown after installing EmulatorSetup.exe

I have had the same problem and the only way I have got the designer to work is (and this should work if build 10240 is acceptable for your development):
Open your project
Go under "Project" to "Properties"
Select "Application" on the left and change BOTH the target version and the min version to "Windows 10 (10.0; Build 10240)
Once you do that the XAML designer will start working again. I've had to do this on 4 different workstations and it's worked everytime.
As to why build 10568 doesn't work? Got me, agile development, will be fixed in a patch? :p
I had the same problem and could not change BOTH versions to Build 10240 as the Application listbox only showed 10586 in Properties/Application. I thought I could arrange that by editing the .csproj file, which is XML after all, but any change there makes all files in the Solution Explorer immediately unavailable. Then I noticed (running Winver.exe) that my W10 still shows build 10240 despite regularly (but not automatically) running Windows updates. Despite multiple solutions tried, this didn't change. I finally used the MediaCreation Tool to download a new Windows 10 on a USB stick and reinstalled Windows 10, preserving apps and data. And now I am really on 10586 ...and the Design mode shows again when I open my project.
I hope this helps a few!

The title pretty much says it all. I've downloaded Visual Studio 2012 Express for Desktop but I also want to be able to develop apps for Windows 8.
Rather than having to download another version of Visual studio (Visual Studio 2012 for Windows 8). Isn't there just a way to add add-ons on my current VS to enable developing for Windows 8?
Thanks in advance!
PS - If there's an add-on to develop for Windows PHONE 8 that will also be greatly appreciated!
If you want to develop windows 8 phone, you still can use VS 2012 express, but you must install windows 8 phone SDK, you can download it here http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk.
But if you want to develop desktop app with VS 2012 Express, Unfortunately you can't, but IMHO you can still use csharp compiler in command line to do that. but you must references all the library you use in your app. to be honest I never try it, CMIIW.

I just installed VS 2012 Ultimate RTM on Windows 8 Pro RTM and tried to open a solution containing several projects (class libraries and WinForms) targeting .NET 4.0.
When the solution is loaded, VS prompts that .NET 4.0 isn't supported. It gives me the chance to update my projects to 4.5 (and promises that I could change the target later) or install a "Multi targeting pack" for 4.0 from this page.
I decided to update my projects to 4.5 because I had no luck installing the offered Multi targeting pack (errors see below).
Unfortunately, VS does not show 4.0 as a target by default (when changing the target for an updated project), but redirects me to the page where I can download the Multi targeting pack.
So far so good, but I wasn't able to install any of the offered downloads (neither runtime nor targeting pack) again.
The error message says in case of .NET Framework 4.0.3 Targeting Pack:
Setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. The following blocking issues must be resolved before you can install KB2600213 software package.
Installation Requirements:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack was not found. Please repair your installation for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in order to get this update.
Strange enough since I have no VS2010 installed.
.NET Framework 4.0.3 Runtime Installation stops with the following error:
KB2600211 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer.
I've checked that .NET 4.0 is installed (using the .NET Installation verification tool), I've tried to repair VS2012 but nothing let me target .NET 4 and the Event log does not contain any related reports. Any suggestions or hints (besides going back to Win7/VS2010)?
I'm honestly not sure what's going on. I have VS 2012 Ultimate RTM and all versions of .NET are supported.
I'm almost positive I never installed any .NET frameworks manually, though I did install Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone from http://create.msdn.com.
My Visual Studio can't seem to build any of the Metro Sample applications. As I've never really used this IDE before, I've pretty much given up.
Can anyone direct me to a sample application that is already built and preferably some source code along with it for reference?
Note:
I have a copy of Windows 7 AND 8. However I can't seem to build Microsoft's File Access Sample in my copy of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. I'm trying to test one of my Win7 applications in Metro mode of Win8 (the application may be called for use during a user's session in a given Metro app).
Metro Apps (that is, applicatons based on WinRT in Windows 8) will not run in Visual Studio 2010. You need Visual Studio 11 express (that comes on the Windows 8 Developer Preview with developer tools English, 64-bit (x64) or Visual Studio 11 developer preview (available for MSDN subscribers)).
According to Getting started with Windows Metro style app development, "To begin building Metro style apps for Windows, you must first download and install the Windows Developer Preview, which includes Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows Developer Preview and the Windows SDK for Metro style Apps."
So I think you'll have to do metro-style development from the Windows 8 Preview for now. That website also has some hello world type stuff and general direction on getting started.
You probably can build Metro Style Apps in Visual Studio 2010. Basically Metro is a special type of design where focus is more on texts than pictures. Metro means " Text before Chrome".
If you can build such metro controls ( or you can copy some from any windows 8 copy) you probably will be able to build very basic Metro style apps , but if u wish to build something advanced then i would suggest better switch to Windows 8 with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate .
